Excellent podcast and spot-on. I agree with papakila that some of the examples could have been stronger (Jared Loughner/Gabby Gifford, for example), but I think papa missed the point due to the fact that his thesis (that assassins have always beeen a bit wack) is generally the same as Tom’s. ...Read full review »

I like the show generally but this episode is complete bunk. I think the host and guest both realize it too from the get-go. The thesis is that present day assassins are different from those in the past in that they are less strictly political and more about mentally unstable people getting...Read full review »

Hanna Rosen is an amazing journalist that asks the right questions to excellent guests. The topics are timely and well researched. Again, OUTSTANDING!!

Really great podcasts on the prescription meds and their often unreported effects, both good and bad.

Not the intellectual level I think the Atlantic usually is on.

Stimulants are life changing & already so many people are worried about using them & stigma surrounds them, to frame one person’s story as a critique of this whole class of drugs is highly problematic & irresponsible. Further, another drug he used was Benzos, a drug class well known...Read full review »

This show has been great from the beginning but the ‘Scripts’ series is stellar. Ethan Brooks has done a fantastic job.

Discussion by Frank and Elaina was very disappointing. Picking at Kamala Harris in a way they would never have picked at a male counterpart. Why? Can’t we just give Kamala the benefit of the doubt on non-catastrophic shortcomings?? Do we really need to dissect her supposed stage fright on such an...Read full review »

Remarkably uninspired considering the strength of the magazine and its editorship. Mostly disappointing.
EYEBALL HATRED via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/11/24
I just listened to your podcast about remote work, a conversation between two very impressive women who were unfortunately self-sabotaging with language. I became so distracted by the number of times “sort of” and “like” were uttered, that I went back and did a casual count. I counted 68 “sort...Read full review »

An entire show on grocery prices that doesn’t talk in depth about the centralization of food stores, food deserts, poverty, or Big Ag. There’s a lot of these episodes that seem willfully blind. The one on remote work seems to draw definitive conclusions from a small number of studies gee-whiz...Read full review »

So Hunter Rosen’s partner is an f-bombing big mouth bully- cool urban hipster self-centered nonsense passing as current validity for poor (me, me, me) manners. Seems an old fashioned punch in the face is in order!

Does subscribing to this podcast somehow benefit the magazine that publishes the phrase “legally killed child” with no self reflection whatsoever? Who knows. Are there lots of other podcasts unconnected to magazines that parse the moral nuance of ethnic cleansing? Let’s go see. Life’s too short.

Entertaining with some interesting angles on (pop) cultures. When it comes to politics and policy though, it can fall back to questionable establishment talking points, e.g. is neocon Anne Applebaum really the best choice to talk about Russian/Ukraine war? Host needs to do some homework before...Read full review »

As a longtime reader of The Atlantic, I appreciate the topics and depth of presentation by Hanna and her crew. I find these topics interesting (even if I wasn’t hooked by the title initially). This is the goal of solid authorship. I read The Atlantic cover-to-cover every month just for that. As...Read full review »

Thank you for your bringing us the news.

Hana Rosin is one of the best podcast hosts around. Her voice and attitude and intelligence are perfect for the format. It matters much less than this is in Atlantic podcast and much more that she is the host.
lg244 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/25/24
Hard to believe that this episode was produced by people who work at the Atlantic. Simplistic, shallow, not even entertaining! It’s nothing more than an advertisement for the company even though the journalists pretend it isn’t. What was the point of the episode?
MGIGIW via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/18/24
I love this show because the content is unique and interesting and the host is warm and engaging. Thank you for producing it!

I found the article on the origin and impact if the barcode interesting and trivial. The big problem I had was in listening to the narrator. It sounded like every sentence was a question or a begging for affirmation? When did it become normal to end every statement as a question? It’s so annoying...Read full review »

Good content generally but maybe? Prescreen your guests? For too much upspeak? Seriously? Don't book the ones who cannot stop speaking? ...like this? Mades it so hard to listen for more than 5 minutes.Read full review »

I enjoy this podcast but could not get through the barcode episode because Saahil Desai must have said “like” a hundred times during the first half of the show. Turned it off and switched to “Stuff You Should Know.”
Former editor via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/18/24
Please please please minimize the likes. The magazine is excellent. The podcast should be as good. Your host and guests say “like” every other word, completely undermining what they are actually saying.
Lefty Land via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/18/24
Their recent episode “Why are good economy feels like a bad one” the host, Hanna Rosin, in the third sentence says the public is suffering from a “collective delusion” that the economy is not doing well. When you account for price increases in rent, food and car prices, the economy is...Read full review »

I learned so much from this interview with guest Tim Alberta about evangelicals and Trump. I will be reading his book.
Laura Gatsos Young via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 12/07/23
The atlantic is a great magazine, and a companion podcast makes perfect sense, but they need a different host. Hanna Rosin is just too grating to put up with.

I am an avid podcast listener and also a subscriber to The Atlantic. I like the podcasts here, the one star is because there is some technical glitch on this podcast, it keeps showing that I have already listened to episodes that not only I haven’t listened to, but never even downloaded. It is...Read full review »

Hanna Rosen has really made this podcast great. She is inquisitive and a really good interviewer. Look forward to each episode.
Ottawajester via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/25/23
Hanna’s curious, compassionate, and clever mind draw me into the podcast. I hope she’ll continue to shine a light on how we can all learn new things - and change our minds along the way.

I love new iteration of this show! Hanna Rosin is as quick and clever in podcast form as she was as a writer. Great topics and guests. Have definitely recommended to friends. Keep em coming!

Equally as insightful and enlarging as everything you see and read in the publication.
waldOwOrldd via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/02/23
So for whatever reason, laziness, incompetence, ignorance of the pace of Podcasts, their stories are usually about subjects that have already been covered, in depth and days before on a litany of other better podcasts. So just stop, really.

I like to talk with like an upwards inflection or whatever and am like frustrated no one like takes me seriously or whatever.

This podcast consistently amazes and fascinates me. And they’re usually about the right length of time to wash dishes and do a chore or two. I love ve it!

A bit of cozy reputation laundering for Ms Spanberger. Still don’t know what she’s for, except platitudes about pragmatism. Isaac chimes in here and there to mention how cool it is to be in the CIA.

The boring but very nasty magazine, The Atlantic, is rapidly failing, going down the tubes, & has just been forced to announce it is laying off at least 20% of its staff in order to limp into the future. This is a tough time to be in the Fake News Business & this is a fake podcast!
TyKo Steamboat via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/27/20
Why review such an insightful podcast with such a lack of insight? The Atlantic is one of the few political periodicals with reason as its litmus test for publication, and their podcasts reflect that standard. Bring back the Jeffrey Goldberg interviews!
